In this video, I break down one of the biggest mindset mistakes players make: thinking they’re “just a winger,” “just a center,” or “just a defenseman.” Hockey doesn’t work like that. The game moves too fast, the roles change too quickly, and if you limit yourself to one position, you limit your impact. Hockey is built on fluid roles F1, F2, D1, D2, not fixed labels. Shifts evolve, forechecks flip, gaps close, and suddenly you’re the first man back or the support option high. If you only understand one position, you freeze. If you understand all of them, your hockey IQ skyrockets. Players who study every role become problem solvers. They anticipate plays, adapt under pressure, and make smarter decisions because they recognize patterns from every angle of the ice. Learn every position! #hockeyplayer #hockeyiq #skilldevelopment #skills #hockeylife
